But aside from that, the only thing I notice when playing a steam game, is the "Starting your game" message and that's it.

So you're skipping CoD because you don't 'like' steam? I doubt you have interest in CoD in the first place, anyway, your loss

Who has any faults? And if we did in the past, we always called it "re-install"! Not hard at all. And I can interact with other players on forums like this, so how is that a big advantage? And some say auto patching and updating is great. Sorry, would rather do it myself!! We never had steam in the past, don't need it now. It will just mean fewer people will buy the game. Not not so much my loss, but Oleg and his gang's loss. I can still play IL2 and will still do so, at least it looks that way. 1C will be the big loser here and it's too bad.

Actually it will be the exact opposite of that...

By it being available and playable online through steam, the exposure to potential gamers grows exponentially.

This is a helpful step for the life of this franchise.
